Abstract—Gaussian PMU measurement error has been as-
sumed for many power system applications, such as state estima-
tion, oscillatory modes monitoring, voltage stability analysis, to
cite a few. This paper proposes a simple yet effective approach ƌĞĂŬĞƌϭ
to assess this assumption by using the stability property of a
probability distribution and the concept of redundant measure-
ƌĞĂŬĞƌϮ
ment. Extensive results using field PMU data from WECC system
reveal that the Gaussian assumption is questionable.
Index Terms—Non-Gaussian distribution, PMU measurement, ƌĞĂŬĞƌϯ
stable distribution, power system operation, state estimation.
